verse:
Gypsy woman to said Ben          note: the lyrics for this verse are
You got a hambone this boar            wrong, if someone knows them
Get on down Chicago                    please post the right ones!
Get yours a hambone
Bone ground, baby

Mama don't you want to go
Hey Hey Hey
Baby don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago

One and one is two
Two and two is four
I'll be back tomorrow night
Mama, walk to the frontdoor

Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
No now
Baby don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago

Wait out man
(solo)

Two and two is four
Four and two is six
I'll be back tomorrow night
Soon as I get my business fix

Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
Hey Hey Hey
Baby don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago

Six and two is eight
Eight and two is ten
Once she fool you one time
She sure won't do it again

You know
I got to get down to my sweet home
Sweet home Chicago

Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
Hey Hey
Mama don't you want to go
(play chorus riff)
Back to that little light city
Sweet home Chicago
